ITPEC IP April 2019 Question 74
ITPEC IP April 2019 — Question 74 of 100
The unverified warning should not be forwarded to anyone. A message from an unknown sender that demands mass forwarding is characteristic of a chain message or virus hoax. Forwarding it spreads misinformation, consumes resources, and may increase security risk.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- forwarding it to acquaintances or all employees amplifies an unverified message
- replying to the unknown sender confirms an active address and treats an untrusted source as authoritative
Key rule: Verify security alerts through an organization's security team or trusted vendor source; never propagate unsolicited chain warnings.
